MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Women's Club is offering the grassroots Great Decisions Foreign Policy discussion series to the Greater New Bedford community beginning Jan. 23.

The Great Decisions program highlights eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year and provides background information, current data and policy options for each issue.

Topics for discussion include how the 2008 global recession contributed to the development of the euro crisis, the state of Egyptian democracy, how NATO's agenda has evolved since its inception during the cold war, the challenges faced by Myanmar as it joins the international community, the challenges of a weak American economy, and the threats and opportunities presented by the ascendancy of China and by regime change in the Middle East.

Great Decisions meets on Wednesdays for eight consecutive weeks from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the Mattapoisett Free Public Library's lower meeting room at 7 Barstow St. A snow date would extend the meetings to March 20.
